Despite the fact that my weekend was pretty busy, I managed to find the time to make a nice breakfast. I have been enjoying pancakes for breakfast on the weekends recently and this weekend apples were on my mind. I was thinking that pancakes with apple pie flavours would be great! I decided to go with a healthier recipe and made the batter with whole wheat flour and ground up rolled oats. While I was thinking about oats my mind wandered to apple cinnamon oatmeal and apple crisp with a rolled oat topping and I thought why not add some whole rolled oats for some additional texture? Speaking of texture, I wanted there to be nice big chunks of apple in the pancakes so I added some sliced up apple. I also wanted to maximize the apple flavour so I added some apple sauce. It was the perfect excuse to make some more roasted apple sauce. Of course I could not forget the cinnamon and I rounded the pancakes out with some ample syrup. But I did not stop there; I also topped the pancakes off with some caramelized apples and maple syrup. The apple and cinnamon oatmeal pancakes topped with caramelized apple turned out great! The were nice and moist and light and fluffy and good! I really liked the chunks of apple in the pancakes and the overall texture of the pancakes was rally nice. These pancakes were definitely full of apple flavour. I can't wait to make these again!

Directions:1. Mix the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.2. Mix the maple syrup, milk, egg, butter and apple sauce in another bowl.3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients.4. Mix in the rolled oats and apple.5. Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.6. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and cook until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.7. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Oh my weakness is apples. I had apples on my mind today too in one of my recipes I posted today. That apple pizza looks so good too, I must have missed that post, definitely going to give both of these a try, I will bookmark them. :)

Hi Kevin, followed your blog for a couple of weeks now, and I really like your recipes. I'm a vegetarian, and you have lots of gorgeous looking and sounding veggie recipes. Thanks! Have not yet tried any of them, but this weekend I will make one of your farro-salades (if I can find Farro, otherwise I'll maybe use semi di orzo) and probably your apple-pancakes.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
